Message from the Race
Chairman
Ski Liberty is proud to sponsor
this event and wishes to extend a warm welcome. LMRT and Ski
Liberty have an excellent relationship and they provide us with a
tremendous amount of support. Ski liberty is also concerned
about the safety and convenience of its other customers. Therefore,
the management has made several requests from us that must be
strictly adhered to:
1.
Please park in the regular parking lot (on the
stones) at the front of the mountain. DO NOT park in the Boulder
Ridge lot on the back side of the mountain. This is a small
parking lot for snow tubing customers only. There is a skier
drop off circle at the front of the
mountain.
2.
Ski Liberty has reserved a room for us in the basement of the
Boulder Ridge Lodge. It will be marked “PARA Racers Only".
When using Boulder Ridge, food may be purchased in the lodge but
PLEASE eat your lunch and keep your belongings in the room only.
You may drop off your lunch and non-skiers in the morning but
please do not park there. Shuttle buses run continuously from the
circle in the front to Boulder Ridge.
3.
Fast skiing outside of the race arena will not
be tolerated. Ski Patrol will be enforcing this by
revoking tickets, in which case you will not be allowed to
race.
Thank you for your
cooperation.

General
Information
Lift Tickets
will be sold at the
discounted group rate of at Group Ticket Sales in the Ski
School/Clock Tower Building, not at the Ticket Sales
Windows. They accept cash and credit card payment. Please
purchase your lift tickets ASAP after registration to avoid long
lines at the Group Sales Counter. After 8:30am, the lines may
be quite long.
Free Skiing
- Athletes are
encouraged to free ski on the back side of the mountain before
their run. The lifts are faster and the lines are shorter than
those on the front. Again, fast skiing outside the race arena
is prohibited. Please observe all slow signs and trail
postings. Strata, Ultra and Eastwind are good trails for free
skiing (rather than Heavenly).
Food Services & Restrooms on
the back side of the Mountain - Food services and restrooms
are available at the base of Boulder Ridge tubing area and at the
South Pole facility at the base of the back-side lifts (next to Ski
Patrol). When using Boulder Ridge, please use the room
reserved for PARA racers.
3rd Run Start
Time - The third run start time will
be announced at the conclusion of the second run; normally about 90
minutes following the last racer of the first run.
Race Viewing
- If you are not
skiing and would like to view the race, please take the Shuttle
from the circle to Boulder Ridge Tubing Lodge. Once there,
walk to the far end of the parking lot, to the finish area at the
bottom of Whitney’s Way. Boulder Ridge Lodge has a
cafeteria and restrooms. Please do not park at
Boulder Ridge. Parking there is for tubing customers
only.
Remember to safeguard your
belongings. There are lockers available in the lower lever of
the lodge and there is a free ski check outside.
We would like to thank Liberty
Mountain Resort, our sponsors, as well as the parents and
volunteers who have contributed time and resources to make this
event a success.
